A recent survey carried out by the Bar Standards Board concludes that Solicitors are the most trusted of the white-collar professions.

In a poll of over 2,000 people the survey showed 17% trusted solicitors, accountants were close behind on 14% and barristers were on 13%. Although none of these figures are particularly stratospheric, lawyers didn’t do too badly compared to other professionals…

Journalists only managed to scrape 3%; bankers, unsurprisingly, fared pretty badly on 2% but dredging the very bottom were estate agents and politicians with 1%.

Tellingly though, a rather sizeable 57% of the people surveyed did not trust any of these professions!
